Use volume-boosting products and the right drying method. You really don’t need a blow dryer or a curling wand for that soft, airy volume. Fluffy hair is all about that lift at the roots, light texture and movement – and yes, you can get there without heat.

A brief overview
Here’s why this is important
Heat-styling is really damaging to your hair over time. If your aim is volume with healthy strands, why not go for all no-heat options? Plus, it’s a simple solution when you want a carefree hair day for lazy stormy mornings or when it’s hot outside.
Try these no-heat fluffy tips
Start with volumizing shampoo to wash your hair and ensure you get lift. Use mousse or light-weight root spray before letting it air-dry. Flip your head upside down and scrunch it lightly with a microfiber towel.
After air-drying, fluff hair up with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to add more volume. If you want, sleep with loose braids or claw clips to give your hair some shape overnight. Just be sure to avoid anything that weighs the roots down — heavy creams, oily serums, or brushing your hair when it’s wet. Fluffy hair loves light layers and tons of air.
The look is perfect for casual days, soft glam beauty looks, or effortless bed-head volume that looks styled!
